Hi Lyna! Good news: "Next", "Then", and "After that" mean the EXACT same thing. You can use them in any order you want in the middle of your story. Just mix them up to sound natural! autorenew

Yes! "In the end" is great for telling a story (e.g., "In the end, we went home"). "Finally" is good for stories AND for giving steps/instructions (e.g., "Finally, eat the cake"). cake

Careful here! This is a common trap. "First" means Step 1. "At first" means "In the beginning... BUT it changed later". Example: "At first I didn't like coffee, but now I love it." local_cafe Use "First" for your steps! rocket_launch
